Kurre Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I now have done a brief test run of Sonar. I got a notification about disabled controler. I went to it, Mackie controler, and selected the midi in and out from the dropdown menu. Then tested to play some synths. It didn't react to my midi keyboard. Switched over to CbB and could establish that the midi keyboard sent notes as it should. The control device was the only thing that differed between the daws so i deleted the Mackie controler and tried again. Success. ✨ Why does a controldevice block the midi keyboard? I thought they could coexist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 When using the Mackie MCU protocol / Mackie Control Surface it needs exclusive access to the MIDI ports assigned to it, which means you can't use them for normal MIDI keyboard events. I would make no sense to allow both on the same MIDI device in any case, as button presses on the MCU are actually sent out as note events. Keyboards that support the MCU protocol normally expose more than one set of MIDI ports, one set for the keyboard and one for the MCU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurre Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 Ok, thanks. It's an old Korg707 with din connection so - not mcu. I've thought of why that Mackie device turned up in the first place. I think Sonar picked it up from my Stream Deck installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
